The biggest concern that a player dealing with offshore is getting paid. Let's face it. That trumps all. In reading about all of these sites that are designed to scam players out of cash, there may be room in this industry for insurance. A well known, reliable company (like an SBR) can investigate and vet the principals for books on their own. This company can guarantee a player balance (up to a max) by verifying that player funds are sitting in escrow or by whatever criteria that they are comfortable with. This proposed company can make money by having books pay them to give them their seal of approval. This seal approval would translate into instant credibility and increased revenue for the sportsbook. This proposed company could also work like a traditional insurance company and charge players a fee to guarantee their balance. There are several ways that this could work. The book would have to allow this proposed (reliable) company to decide all disputes and have it to be binding.
You can certainly say that the SBR grading system somewhat applies many of these factors but it doesn't provide the guarantee.
All I know is that I would deposit at a book that had this reliable, well known 3rd party assurance that my funds would be safe.
